Termite Inspection for Virginia Beach Homes
Closing on a Virginia Beach home often means a wood-destroying-insect report, and lenders frequently ask for one before funding.
Our technicians inspect thoroughly and turn around a clear WDI report on the timeline your closing needs.
Read more about Termite Inspection in Virginia Beach
Our coastal soil and older housing stock make wood-destroying insects a real concern in home sales, so lenders often want a WDI report before they fund. From Kempsville ranches to Oceanfront cottages, local reports routinely flag termite activity, both kinds of wood-boring beetle, and decay fungus. Slab foundations and low crawl spaces can hide activity that a careful inspection uncovers. Buyers and refinancing owners both need the report done right and done on time.
We inspect the structure top to bottom, document any active or past activity, and issue the standard WDI report your lender expects. When a closing is tight, we schedule quickly so the paperwork does not hold up the deal. If we find a problem, we can walk you through treatment options right away. Agents have been handing this paperwork to our inspectors since 2000, and they know these houses street by street.

| What to compare | Universal Pest Control | Most pest control companies |
|---|---|---|

| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday.

| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.
